Chapter 1089 Firmness
"This should be an accident," Miller said. "In Pete's self-report, he also mentioned the people who were pursuing them, and suddenly seemed to have lost interest in them. It was obvious that their actions had changed."
Lill thought for a while and said, "You mean, they originally thought that this guy would appear with Pitt and the others, right? But then they suddenly realized that it was not the case. They made a mistake and went after him?"
"Yes. That's about that." Miller said: "Originally, this guy's plan should have been successful. But for some reason, his whereabouts were exposed, he immediately started to hunt him down. I think this is the reason why the guy's arrangement was disrupted. Because he was also caught off guard. Before being arrested, he must have made some arrangements. In the end, these people successfully met with the mother and daughter in Balawi and took them away."
Lill looked at Miller and said, "You think it's good. But it's quite difficult to operate like this. And there's still a lot of luck. A plan requires luck, but it can't rely entirely on luck. Joining him has really made arrangements. There is a team of people working for him, how can they find the mother and daughter? Pete has lost contact. Has the woman been in contact with someone? They ran back to Balawi, and this trick deceived the Belarusians and the Russians. Can't they deceive his people? In this case, how can they accurately find the mother and daughter?"
Miller shook his head slightly and said, "What you said is indeed a problem, but if you think about it carefully... these things don't seem that difficult to do."
Lill smiled and said, "You will definitely say, is there something wrong with the woman's things, right? Also, maybe there is someone in a local department that cooperates with the operation. This person will provide intelligence support to others and guide them to the right place, right?"
"Do you think this is not possible?" Miller looked at Lill and said, "I think it's very likely."
"This kind of guess is OK," Lill said: "But the evidence, where is the evidence? The Belarusians did not mention these. Do you know what I think these Belarusians think?"
"What is it?" Miller asked.
Lill said, "I think this is the Belarusians covering up their incompetence. Their actions in Balawi can only be described as failure, and it is a shameful failure. They first passed by Peter and the others foolishly, and then after the opportunity to turn the situation around, Pete and the mother and daughter ran away. Not only did they lose manpower and get nothing. Do you have the nerve to write down a report if you want to act like this? If it were me, I would definitely not be able to write it out. More importantly, they have to take responsibility for their stupidity? In order to take less responsibility, they did this. Writing such a report made everyone feel that we have a lot of manpower there. They failed to complete the task because they faced sneak attacks from the brutal enemy."
Seeing that Lille completely disagrees with his thoughts, Miller sighed and said, "Why did Pete leave the town and leave contact with him? How can he explain this?"
"First of all, who fired this gun?" Lill asked, "Who are they hitting?" He pointed to the report Miller brought, "No one said on it, and if you exchange fire, according to your statement, it's impossible that there are only a few shots, unless the person was killed as soon as they met, but the report did not say that they shot dead. Don't you find these strange?"
"Okay." Miller said helplessly: "This is indeed strange. But isn't it even more strange that the mother and daughter have no whereabouts?"
"It's strange." Lill said: "But it's impossible to make a judgment just by relying on such a report. At least there are more, preferably Russians. The Russians must have participated directly in the operation. Now your intelligence officer should be in Russia. They are not under pressure to be responsible for their stupidity this time, and their report should be more credible."
"I'm working on their report. It's not that easy," Miller said. "This time, only a small number of Russians may be involved in it. I have to figure out who participated in this operation before I can find out what's going on in this regard."
"Hurry up," Lill said: "I have to give my people an explanation too. Now that Pitt is detained here, many people inside Helmet are in a very strong mood. We are losing the most trust we should have. This will be in big trouble."
"Wait a little longer." Miller said: "It's necessary to figure out the matter. That mother and daughter can't evaporate like this, right?"
Lill sighed slightly and said, "To be honest, Miller. Do you really think there is any inevitable relationship between Pitt and the mother and daughter who can't find it?"
"Of course." Miller said: "He was the one who was with them in the end. No one knew what happened except the mother and daughter. Of course he had a necessary relationship."
"Okay. How long does it take?" Lille said: "How long does it take to wait for this matter? I have to lock Pitt here, how long does it take?"
"I don't know." Miller said with a curl of his lips.
"Don't know?" Lille seemed very dissatisfied. "You have to figure out one thing. The longer Hale Metnet will complain more. Don't forget that I have chosen these people. Now I've been treated like this. If it were you, what would you think?"
"At least we have to wait for that guy to be replaced." Miller said: "Just exchange that guy, everything will be solved."
"When will the exchange be held?" Lill asked, "Have you coordinated the FBI?"
"It's done well," Miller said: "That Sequoia is not easy to deal with. The FBI hasn't gotten anything useful from him during this period."
"What are you going to do?" Lille asked.
"Talk to the Russians," Miller said: "Just in Germany. Let's talk to their ambassador. I think there will be news soon."
Lill looked at Miller and said, "Have you handed it out?"
"Yes." Miller said: "I'm already doing it, and I believe there will be a response soon. Then you will be responsible for talking to them."
"Okay." Lille said: "Who is their ambassador?"
"Sergey Glenchev," Miller said immediately.
"Oh...I want to see this guy." Lill said: "When will I meet him?"
"Don't worry. They haven't responded yet. Arrange to meet immediately after they respond." Miller said.
Lill smiled and said, "Are you so sure they will agree to the exchange? Maybe the Russians don't mean anything at all, it's just our wishful thinking."
"No." Miller said: "I've studied this Sequoia carefully. He is very similar to that guy to a certain extent. They are both the head of an important intelligence network. The Russians will not be indifferent."
"Okay. As long as you can agree," Lille said, looking around and said, "Do we start lunch? I'm so hungry."
That afternoon, in Moscow, Russia, Yunis took Ivan to the cell where Baldachev was imprisoned. After taking a look at the situation in the cell on the surveillance of Baldachev and having a brief understanding of the situation with the guards, Yunis asked someone to lift Baldachev out of the cell and bring it to the interrogation room that had been used to interrogate him.
At this moment, Baldachev was not in good condition. Although the lump on his face had not completely disappeared, his clothes were covered with wrinkles, buttons were all gone in some places, and obvious coagulated blood could be seen on his clothes. His hair was very messy, and his expression was a bit dull, and he was like a beggar.
Baldachev was pressed on the seat again. Yunis walked to him and looked carefully. After looking back and forth, he smiled and turned to Ivan and said, "It seems that this guy has suffered a lot these days."
Ivan smiled and didn't chew. Yunis sat down opposite Baldachev and said, "Mr. Baldachev, you are amazing. Although you haven't been here for too long, I'm surprised that I can persevere. I hope that the potion that makes people speak up will not cause any harm to your body."
Baldachev slowly raised his head and glanced at Younis, then looked at Ivan standing beside him, and whispered in a hoarse voice: "Who are you?"
"Me?" Yunis smiled and said, "I used to be lurking in other countries like you. The last time I lurked in the United States was probably the same as when you entered Russia, maybe earlier, but not too sooner."
"Then you should look like you should be successful," said Baldachev.
"Haha." Yunis laughed and said, "It's the opposite. I'm very unlucky. I'm the only living person in my group. I've been wandering outside for many years before I can get to where I am today."
"Then congratulate you." Baldachev said calmly: "But you are not here to tell me this, right?"
"Why? Can't hold back?" Yunis said with some disappointment: "It seems you shouldn't be such a person."
Baldachev raised his head, adjusted his sitting position with great difficulty, and leaned on the chair and said, "Originally, I wanted to have a slut with you. But if you were beaten up like me and then injected with a lot of inexplicable potions, you might be even more embarrassed than me."
"Haha." Yunis smiled and said, "I have to admit this, I can't stand this. If it were me, I would have asked and said anything."
Baldachev smiled and didn't answer his words, while Yunis continued, "Tell you good news. Your people want to exchange you back."
Hearing this game, Baldachev was obviously surprised. He tried to sit down straight, then raised his head and said, "What tricks do you want to play?"
"Not a trick," said Yunis. "Unfortunately, some of us have fallen into your hands. They are suffering the same pain as you. Your people have contacted us and hope to exchange. You are going home soon."
Baldachev shook his head slightly and said, "It seems that you have suffered a crushing defeat in the United States."
"Why do you say that?" asked Younis.
"Because..." Baldachev raised his head and looked at Yunis and said, "Because if it were me, there would be no exchange."
"Haha." Yunis smiled again and said, "I believe you have sat down long ago and will never open your mouth. And you have made sufficient preparations for this, otherwise you will not be able to withstand the kind of potion that makes people speak. But your people are not as determined as you. They are very afraid that you will tell us everything you know. They cannot believe that you will stick to it."
"Haha." Baldachev smiled bitterly and said, "This is how people who do intelligence. You are about the same."
"It's true." Yunis said: "I'm here today... there are two things that I haven't figured out. So I want to ask you in person. Don't worry, these two things will not involve any secrets, just treat them as communication between two colleagues."
"It depends on what you are asking specifically." Baldachev said: "We shouldn't have communication with each other, right?"
"Haha. You're too careful," said Yunis. "First of all, I want to know why you can make yourself so firm. These days, it's completely hellish for you, beating, not letting you eat, sleep, and inject hallucinogens. But you are unshakable. People cannot be born like this. I really want to know what makes you like this."
Baldachev looked at Yunis with some surprise and said, "You just want to know this?"
"Yeah. I'm like I know this." Yunis said.
"But this is of no use to you," said Baldachev. "This is not a lesson, it belongs to only one person."
Yunis shook his head and said, "I don't want to learn. I just want to understand. You must have had a completely different experience, right?"
"Actually, this is not complicated." Baldachev said: "Because I have nothing to lose. I can only hold on to the last thing, otherwise I will become a real pauper."
Yunis frowned and said, "What does it mean? I don't understand."
"Actually, people like us are very miserable." Baldachev said: "Don't look at you being more beautiful than me now, are you not worse than me when you are unlucky?"
"Haha. Yes." Yunis smiled and said, "At the wrecked dog, you at least have someone who is willing to take you back. And the most important reason why I found me in the Soviet Union at that time was to judge me. Haha."
